A gesture to the fact that allowing Speciesism to persist without some type of government over watch to keep it in check may over time greatly increase the chances of major disease pandemics happening, including diseases that have the ability to kill large numbers of people.
Dan: Its really sad that so many people have died from Covid-19.
Baxten: It is sad, but what’s even sadder, at least in my opinion, is the fact that all of this may have been averted if the Obama and Trump Presidential Administrations had done a better job trying to pass regulations to reduce the impact of Speciesism by doing things like requiring pet insurance to provide coverage for preventive health care visits and pressure states to pass regulations to reform their animal healthcare systems to make them more effective, accessible, and cost efficient.
Dan: That part I also agree with you on. Disease outbreaks like this are Speciesism’s hallmark after all.

Two ethical problems that arise when an individual asks someone out. They include:
-The assumption that if you ask someone out, then they have to say yes to the person who asked them out. However, this is not true as it is up to the person getting asked to decide. They should say no if they don’t like you to avoid causing both of you to suffer a lot of unnecessary pain down the line.
-The presumption by one or both of the people involved that it is acceptable to spread bad rumors about the other person if the person asking the individual out gets rejected. This leads to unnecessary conflict and distrust of each other which benefits neither of you. Just because it didn't work out does not mean that they are entitled to spread bad rumors about each other or that you two can't be friends anymore.

Romantic entitlement causes a lot of unnecessary suffering to a large number of people. People should try to avoid making these presumptions about romantic relationships in order to reduce their own and the person they like's suffering.

The extent to which an individual is aware of what is happening in the government and society, as well as what various politicians, organizations, businesses, and political parties’ agendas, beliefs, and actions are on numerous policy issues. This includes being aware of the activities of various social movements looking to reform society. It is important to remember being aware of the beliefs and activities of only one political party means an individual’s political consciousness is limited at best because in order to fully understand what is going on politically, you must have descent understanding of multiple political parties so you can see the issue from multiple angles, allowing you to see the situation more clearly without being manipulated too much by any one party. Usually, the more someone is aware of what is happening with multiple political parties, the stronger their political consciousness is.
Roderigo is aware of what is happening with the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the Libertarian Party, and the Green Rainbow Party. Samantha is only aware of what the Republican Party is up to. Roderigo has a strong political consciousness, while Samantha has limited political consciousness.

The processes by which society establishes new norms, expectations, and standards, and in some cases existing norms and standards are replaced, in regards to what is and is not acceptable in religious settings. These processes happen in various settings including schools, colleges, businesses, churches, news channels, state governments, federal governments, and homes. These processes can greatly impact how people think, act, and behave in various religious situations.
Yuliana: I wish more religions would be more supportive of giving women equal rights and protections.
Winston: Regrettably that may take a while to occur, the amount of time in which religious normalization occurs in many religions is relatively slow. It could take many years for those types of changes to happen, but the process might be accelerated if more national governments gave women equal rights to men, which would help pressure them into doing it.
Yuliana: I just wish it would happen faster.
Winston: We can always hope that some day more religions will be more supportive of women’s right.
Yuliana: I agree. Hopefully some day more of them will.
